Hidden in the centre of Melbourne, a warehouse sits empty and untouched. Until now. Welcome to the festival hub of Melbourne Music Week 2012.
Situated in a giant, long disused space in the middle of the city, Where?House is a pop-up, site-specific performance venue on a scale never before seen or attempted in this city. Inspired by the clandestine energy of Melbourne’s early electronic scene, Where?House’s location will only be revealed on the morning of 16 November – the day that Melbourne Music Week opens. From that moment until the after party on 25 November, Where?House will be the pulsing hub of MMW, playing host to some of Australia and the world’s most legendary, innovative and up-andcoming bands, artists and DJs. In collaboration with Melbourne producers marksthespot, the outfit that brought you last year’s acclaimed, colour-shifting KUBIK
installation, Melbourne Music Week will be retrofitting the place in grand style, bringing together Melbourne’s finest architects, lighting and sound designers, artists and musicians to create an expansive performance space unlike any other. With a café and bar, dining hall, retro market, workshops, screenings and immersive multimedia experiences running each day, followed by performances in the thousand person main hall, this all-encompassing hub will be the place to be both during the day and at night. Where?House is vast, ambitious and secret – an invisible cathedral of music, energy and creativity that will remain etched in the history of Melbourne’s music scene long after the last thunderous note has faded away.

Melbourne Music Week kicks things off in grand style with an all-out electro-disco throwdown in the surrounds of MMW’s flagship venue Where?House, featuring the first ever Australian performances by Kitsuné hotshots Housse de Racket and nu-disco phenoms PillowTalk. Electro-rock revivalists of the most slamming sort, Housse de Racket are Pierre Leroux and Victor Le Masne, two Frenchmen with dancefloor devastation on their minds.

Melbourne audio-visual experimentalists and mash-up kings Naysayer & Gilsun bring their iconic, ground-breaking NGTV project to Where?House for one special night. Feature-Length, ultra-remixed collage works, in NGTV the duo have started pushing toward the creation of an entirely new form of electronic performance.

The Godfather of Detroit house, Mike Huckaby has been a DJ, promoter and producer for more than 20 years. Bringing his unparalleled ear for quality and still flying the flag of the scene he made, when Huckaby plays the funk is impossible to resist.
SUNday 18 November 4pm Where?House
Heading the line-up is Ben Sims, the UK’s king of techno, marking his first visit to Australia in ten years. A peerless turntablist and a fixture of the global scene for over two decades, Sims’ DJ sets are rightfully revered: dark, epic, hypnotic and unabashedly pounding.
Joining them will be new techno supergroup Four by Four (live); four iconic Melbourne producers featuring Honeysmack, Steve Law, Voiteck and Two4k collectively representing over 60 years experience performing live electronic music. Local heroes Mike Buhl, Matt Radovich and PWD will add to the night too. Long story short: watch your bass bins. This will be heavy.
It might be a Monday night, but Where?House isn’t slowing down with Melbourne’s most restless and inspired party curators/creators To And Fro joining forces with the mighty VICE Magazine for a night of aural and visual mayhem.

Noisey Mountain turfed up every which way, NGTV is the purest expression of their aesthetic to date, an emotive musical and visual journey where the old is merged with the new, cinematic narrative clashes with electronic beat-making and the audience spends most of their time standing in slack-jawed awe. Supporting Naysayer & Gilsun on this journey will be up-and-coming beatmaker Oscar O’Bryan and those almighty hip-hop regents, Favela DJs.

Phatawhompus Six of Australia’s most distinctive and genre-defying live electronic performers come together for a night of future-bound soundscapes, shimmering synths and unexpected aural wonders. Kicking things off is the intoxicating Oliver Tank, Sydney-based purveyor of glittering dream pop, star-dusted melodies and haunting vocals. Brisbane quartet Mitzi weave disco rhythms, syncopated guitar, soulful vocals and vintage analogue warmth into an unstoppable indie disco free-for-all. Lost Animal may be this country’s finest producer of nouveau tropicalia, a welcoming and nostalgia-drenched collation of warped vocals, keys,
guitar, marimba, brass, xylophone and percussion. Existing somewhere between tribal house, hi-gloss dub, no-wave pop and kitsched up Australiana, NO ZU makes percussive funk jams like you’ve never heard or danced to before. Thrupence’s electronica is sweeping, swarming and enveloping, aural dreamscapes floating through space on the back of multi-layered synths and narcotized drums. Finally, Simon Winkler, music coordinator at Triple R, will be spinning a selection of the most left-field, challenging and surprising electronic music in the world today. Open your minds and ears to a brave new sonic existence.

Brace yourselves for a glitchheavy, future-bass throwdown as Phatawhompus takes charge of Where?House for an evening of broken beats, wonky synths and all round aural chaos. Indefinable American beatsmith Eskmo heads the line-up, bringing his singular brand of crunched-up post-hip-hop rhythms and jaw-dropping live beat manipulation to Australia for the very first time.
Joining them will be US glitch-hop pioneer Tipper, whose angular, propulsive production work, fascination with extreme bass and hyped-up live scratching has seen him become one of the world’s most sought after broken beat performers. Then there’s Melbourne maestro Spoonbill, who takes half-time beats, inverts them, sucks in indescribable samples and then shoots it all back out as torn up, hyper-funk sonic collages.
Beats Antique (USA) bring with them their curious alliance between middle eastern traditions and potent west coast circus, underground hip hop, breakbeat brass band, downtempo, glitch and dubstep.
Rounding it out is New Zealand beatmaker Opiuo, whose bouncing brand of melodic, granulated electro-bass has earned him a rightful place at the top end of the global glitch-hop hierarchy.
The Likes of You are also proud to welcome back to our shores Matt Edwards AKA the mighty Radio Slave. With a list of releases and remixes as extensive and accomplished as anyone in the game, Radio Slave shows are not-to-be-missed events – furious, stomping aural assaults where bass, harmony and melody fuse into one unstoppable party monster – joined by local legends Mike Callander, Safari and Isaac Fryar.
The Likes of You Sound design meets avant-tronica meets abstract beatmaking and subcutaneous bass in Signal, a night dedicated to the limitless potentialities of electronic music. One of the most revered sound designers and music makers in the business, Richard Devine’s output strays from twisted electronica to world-leading sample packs to video game soundtracks. Sitting at the technological and aesthetic edge of contemporary electronic composition, this is music that challenges pre-conceptions, warps reality and blows minds. Vladislav Delay’s sound is prolific, profuse and utterly undefinable. Taking influences from ambient,

Leading the charge this year – and playing his first ever Australian show – is Troy Pierce, Items and Things label kingpin and one of American techno’s most esteemed and genre-defining figures.

This year The Operatives are inviting ascendant UK label Eglo and LA beatsmith Teebs to take over Where?House for one evening of unadulterated bass-driven madness. Eglo co-founder Floating Points leads the charge, a man whose inimitable mix of house, garage, dubstep and hip-hop has been at the forefront of the emerging bass scene ever since his explosive debut three years ago. Joining him will be label boss Alexander Nut, spinning a mutant array of techno, dubstep, funk and more, while Eglo’s chief vocalist Fatima, owner of the silkiest voice in dance music, will also be strutting her stuff.
Heavy Innit From the other side of the Atlantic comes Teebs, visionary producer on the Brainfeeder imprint. One part abstract hip-hop, one part psychedelic groove, one part hypnotic bass concoction, Teebs’ music is warm, inviting and ready to rock.

Back in 1992, a small music label named Chapter Music was born, releasing a series of limited-run cassettes by local bands. Over the next twenty years, Chapter Music would expand and grow until they became Australia’s pre-eminent independent label, an outfit whose roster reads like a history lesson in the past two decades (and more) of this country’s indie scene. To celebrate their 20th anniversary, Chapter Music are packing the North Melbourne Town Hall full of as many of its roster, past and present, as it possibly can, for one unmissable day and night of avant-pop, synth-punk, psychedelia and everything inbetween.
From Crayon Fields (playing their only set of 2012) to Twerps, Pikelet, Laura Jean, Primitive Calculators, Bum Creek, Standish/Carlyon, Jonny Telafone, New Estate and many, many more, this is live gig as musical history lesson – an extravagant testament to the depth and ingenuity of this most enduring and respected of Melbourne labels. Chapter will take over the North Melbourne Town Hall, using every room imaginable to explore the different aspects of the label. From an experimental room to a screenings space, there will be plenty of places to indulge in Chapter’s history.

10000: That’s how many pipes sit behind the 10-metre-tall, 20-tonne facade of the Melbourne Town Hall’s Grand Organ. Capable of pushing out 90000 cubic feet of air per minute, it is the most complex, thunderingly loud natural instrument in Melbourne. And for one night only, at this year’s Melbourne Music Week, it will belong to Italian prog-horror legends Goblin. From the fantastical to the funky to the out-and-out weird, Goblin will be employing the Grand Organ to perform a set of their most famous and revered soundtrack work. Awe-inspiring, overwhelming and chilling in equal measure, this is how the music of Goblin was meant to be heard.
Thematica brings to life grand musical interpretations of iconic film and soundtrack works, in a unique performance of sound and vision. Traversing Phillip Glass, John Carpenter, Wendy Carlos, Bernard Hermann and beyond, Thematica will re-imagine these artists’ significant film scores on a large scale. Encompassing grand organ, classic synthesisers and additional oddities, these reawakened compositions shall roam through ‘70s analogue realms, baroque battlefields, and eccentric/ emotive soundscapes. Featuring members of Midnight Juggernauts plus special guests.

Melbourne Music Week 2012 wraps up for the all ages with a live, outdoor audio-visual explosion from Melbourne electronica collective //This Thing//. Bringing together founding members Wooshie, Naps and Electric Sea Spider, the //This Thing// crew will be taking over the entire Signal precinct for a free, late night dance party right next to the train line.
With a combined sound that shifts from Flying Lotus-style post-hiphop wonky, to Gaslamp Killer-esque sample frenzies and the narcotized beatmaking of Hype Williams, this is set to be the most blazing party the Yarra has ever seen.
Rounding out the bill will be Melbourne heavyweights The Night Terrors, whose dark synth dreamscapes and other-worldly electronica has just been waiting for a moment like this.

Melbourne indie maestro Nick Huggins and his band play his soundtrack to the much acclaimed globetrotting coming-of-age doco, I Am Eleven.
I Am Eleven has since gone on to garner accolades and awards the world over, including the People’s Choice Award at the Melbourne International Film Festival.
Last year Two Bright Lakes founder Nick Huggins lent his singular musical talents to the work of Genevieve Bailey. I Am Eleven saw Bailey tour around the world, interviewing 11-year-olds in 15 different countries, from America to Morocco to Thailand to Australia, from rich to poor, from insider to out, weaving a deeply affecting portrait of what it means to sit at this most transitional of ages.
For one night only, Nick Huggins and his band will be recreating his achingly beautiful soundtrack for I Am Eleven live on stage. Gentle but piercingly insightful, like the film itself, it will be a unique accompaniment to this funny, sweet and knowing meditation on the things about growing up that bind us together, and those that tear us apart.

McCabe and Mrs Miller Robert Altman (121 min, 1971)
Saturday 17 November 7pm They inspired legions of artists. They scored some of the most famous soundtracks of all time. Now, for the first time in 35 years, Italian prog maestros Goblin will be playing their legendary Suspiria soundtrack live and exclusive for Melbourne Music Week. There are few more hallowed names in the prog rock pantheon than enigmatic Italian soundtrack kings, Goblin. Despite only existing for somewhere between five and fifteen years (depending on who you ask), their singular blend of wailing guitar, funk bass, haunted organ, primordial synth and syncopated percussion became synonymous with the bizarre and blood-drenched films of the 1970s Italian horror movie scene.
Dario Argento’s 1977 masterpiece film Suspiria may well stand as the ultimate statement of Goblin’s musical vision. Menacing and surreal, Suspiria combined Argento’s flair for stylised violence and hallucinatory visuals with a sinister and experimental Goblin soundtrack that found them exploding the outer reaches of symphonic rock. Now, Melbourne Music Week and ACMI are proud to be able to present the first live performance of the Suspiria soundtrack since the film’s original release. Bringing together founding band members Claudio Simonetti, Massimo Morante and Fabio Pignatelli, this is a one-off and once-in-a-lifetime chance to see these true icons of 20th century music as they perform one of the most revered soundtracks in modern cinema.

Starring Judy Davis and a very young Claudia Karvan, the film was nominated for 7 AFI Awards.

Described by The Times as a “poetic, slow-burning tale of America’s pioneering past, it’s an off-beat western and one of Altman’s finest films”, Warren Beatty and Julie Christie feature in this tale that runs the gamut of gamblers, brothels, small town politics and current social comment. Break a few bar-stools with Tex as we explore its impact on his musical career.

Revered Australian singer/songwriter and iconic front-man Tex Perkins (The Cruel Sea, Beasts of Bourbon et al.), presents this fine Robert Altman “anti-Western” classic as one of his top three films of importance.
Chris Bailey, lead singer of punk legends The Saints, has always had an affinity for the darker side of human existence. Perhaps this explains why he’s chosen horror masterpiece The Black Cat. Starring Béla Lugosi and Boris Karloff, the 1934 film shocked audiences with its images of satanic ritual, innocence corrupted and human sacrifice. Join Bailey on a journey into the underworld and discover how this nightmarish reverie changed the path of his own musical history.

Concert film, music doco, balls-to-thewall tribute: Shut Up and Play the Hits is the one essential cinematic farewell to the mighty LCD Soundsystem – perhaps the most influential and revered indie outfit of the 21st century.
They don’t come much more iconic than A Tribe Called Quest. The most successful rap group of all time, across five groundbreaking albums ATCQ came to define the sound of alternative hip-hop, before explosively breaking up in 1998.
As anyone who has witnessed their anarchic live shows can attest, there aren’t many bands quite like Melbourne proto-punks The UV Race.
Providing an intimate portrait of James Murphy in the lead-up to and aftermath of the band’s legendary four-hour farewell show at New York’s Madison Square Gardens, this is the definitive account of a gig that brought to an end an entire musical era.

melbourne music week 2012
Beats, Rhymes and Life picks up the pieces ten years later, following the recently reformed ATCQ as they try and overcome old feuds and hold together a sold-out reunion tour. Insightful, wry and funky as hell, Beats, Rhymes and Life is an exhilarating profile of some of rap music’s true pioneers.
In Autonomy and Deliberation they combine with scene stalwarts such as Twerps, Dick Diver, Total Control, School of Radiant Living and more to create a chaotic and hilarious low budget caper which, to paraphrase Shaun Micallef, no amount of explaining could possibly explain. You’ll really just have to come and see it.
In a relative blink of the eye the music video has become arguably the most important medium for the mass-communication of musical messages. The video not only gives context to the story told by the song, but can also allow the artist a social, cultural and political voice which can extend their reach beyond that of their sound alone. To explore this medium further in the context of Melbourne Music Week, VICE invites some of our most interesting local videographers to present past, present and future projects.

Growing numbers of men and women believe the city is a maze. They are leaving their jobs, their families, their entire lives behind. Every day, they walk the streets, opening doors. They are searching for a door they are convinced has been lost for thousands of years: the exit. What’s behind it? Something else. Something new. Using a strange system of maps, symbols and measurements, one believer – Alice – now thinks she has found it. Composer and Sound Designer Shaun Keyt (Viridian) introduces his work on the Melbourne-based production EXIT, followed by a screening of the film.

Electronic music is much more than sound. While for music lovers the soundtrack to a film is often a point of reference for recalling and referencing emotion, often the story of electronic music and its myriad micro-communities is best told by a collage of characters, history and inspirations in the context of the broader community. For one afternoon Where?House will present a ‘movie marathon’ to celebrate the dynamism of the industry, its culture and the diversity of the community that is electronic music.

The Age’s annual music awards extravaganza comes to MMW, this year honouring Melbourne folk rock superstars Weddings, Parties, Anything.

Supported by THE THOUSANDS ART & EXHIBITIONS DANCE PARTIES POP-UP GIGS CONCERTS & DJS
This year, Melbourne Music Week invited the people of Melbourne to submit proposals for their very own MMW events.
A shortlist was selected and then with the help of the Self-Made Godparents, Penny Modra (The Thousands) and Quincy McLean (SLAM and Bakehouse Studios), applicants honed and refined their ideas until they were ready for public consumption. The result is Self-Made, a wide-ranging line-up of the strange, the exciting and the never-before-tried, especially designed to take advantage of the lesser explored corners of Melbourne city. Fun, unexpected and musically inspired, the program is a unique testament to the boundless creativity and ingenuity of Melbourne’s independent music scene.

There is no light, no lycra, no teacher, no steps to learn, no technique, just free movement. Since its Melbourne inception in 2009, No Lights No Lycra is a space where you can completely let go, shake out the stresses of the week, and lose yourself in the music and the physicality of your body. NLNL is a daggy, non-pretentious place to completely be yourself.
Presented by Kirsty Hulm FRIDAY 16 SUNDAY 25 NOVEMBER WHERE?HOUSE Free event A sculptural injunction into the space of Where?House. Do you often sing along to the radio absentmindedly? Do the lyrics sometimes have you blushing thinking ‘did I just sing that out loud?’ The third in a series, this naughty work will get you thinking a little more closely about how music directs and infects your subconscious. www.kirstyhulm.wordpress.com
AWOL (live) AMELIE SCALERCIO AND MORE Presented by OCA and Gallery One Three Friday 23 November 6pm til late Gallery One Three tickets $10 on the door 18 + In 1987 a meta-festival of 50 000 people (Invisible City) was proposed in the depths of the Australian outback. Due to last minute investment withdrawals, the festival never took place. 25 years later, with live DJs, artefacts, contemporary visual artists’ interpretations and architectural models illustrating the proposed infrastructure and site plan, Invisible City 1987 will capture how a festival of such proportion could re-imagine our relationship with the Australian desert. Featuring Joseph Flynn, AWOL (live), Amelie Scalercio, OCA, Sara Bosch, Tom Morgan, Taj Alexander and Studio Osk, the event will investigate the inherent relationship between music and visual art. After the opening event, a free exhibition will run for one week.

Alexandre Schoelcher is a UK photographer, based in Melbourne. His photography revolves around people and international travel, and his desire to discover and share all the faces of diversity, creativity and friendliness around the world. As the man behind Collecting Melbourne, a street portraiture Tumblr project aimed at documenting the eclectic mix of individuals who decorate and contribute to this great city, Alex will collect a series of portraits of as many characters involved with Melbourne Music Week as possible. Pulling all these images together, printing and mounting them, Alex will be exhibiting his collection once MMW has been packed away. www.collectingmelbourne.tumblr.com
This portable dance party roams the night, generating completely liberating joy, street-by-street and block-by-block, onto buses and subways, into public fountains and beyond. Inevitably interfacing with the public, together creating an infectious epidemic of fun. A roaming party adventure that lasts all night long. Rehab Radio have been presenting Decentralised Dance Parties (DDPs) all over Melbourne’s streets for a variety of themes and events. The movement thrives on unsuspecting people, getting everyone involved and having a dance on the street. During MMW expect to be surprised as 40 boomboxes travel throughout the streets of Melbourne, jumping from venue to venue, to keep you dancing inside and out.

ALL AGES You’re on the way from the office to your regular sandwich joint. You have the correct change in your pocket and a birthday card you need to drop into a post box. However, before you get there you stumble across a saxophone quartet playing an arrangement of Shostakovich’s String Quartet No. 8 amongst the dumpsters in an alleyway. Pleasantly surprised, you stop and listen. Classical Revolutions presents a series of five intimate pop-up performances in unusual public locations. Featuring both canonical and lesser known works; be prepared for a beautiful, exciting, and memorable encounter. Featuring students and graduates from VCA, ANAM, Melbourne Conservatorium of Music and Monash School of Music. Follow MMW on facebook for daily location announcements.
Section 8 FREE EVENT 18 + Musique Concrete was a pioneering form of electronic and experimental music developed by French theoretician Pierre Schaeffer in the early 1940s. As homage to this seminal movement, the Office of Public Works (OOPW) will be hosting a “recording party” at Melbourne’s Section 8. Members of the public will be invited to make and record sounds with both conventional and unconventional items, from tapping wooden spoons to the smashing of fruit with mannequin arms. Accompanied by a professional sound recorder, OOPW will compile and present the sounds to a collection of local and interstate producers especially curated by DJ Kuya, to use to create original compositions of their own Musique Concrete using only sounds from the provided recordings. Producers will have 6 days to complete their works and present them at the official listening party the following Saturday.

Tram Sessions, the crew who ambushes commuters with impromptu, live gigs on Melbourne trams, is having an exclusive Tram Sessions: Mass Jam.
TICKETS $20 moshtix.com.au
Tram Sessions: Mass Jam will start at a ‘secret’ location then move on board a specially kitted out tram for a night of awesome live music, rolling through Melbourne.
Inspired by film and forward thinking music, Beat Cinema combines and captures these elements in a dark and usually unusual dance compound. Presented by Puke, Beat Cinema will fill the gallery of 1000 £ Bend with some of the gnarliest skate props, art and analogue media with plenty of room left for happy feet and those down with cocktails.
Just like a Tram Session, the identity of the three bands will remain a secret, but with previous artists like Xavier Rudd, and Amanda Palmer, you can expect some great talent. And for those who miss out on the Tram Sessions: Mass Jam, the after party at Donkey Wheelhouse, will fill that void. Limited tickets available. For event info visit www.tramsessions.com
